Enjiro: You... are a regular, right? Shouldn't you sit on the bench of Benten!?Ikki: Hm!?

Ikki: I don't like Kitazato's way of handling things, it's like bullying. // So I passed. // By the way.

Ikki: That doesn't mean I like you. // Haimura.

(8)Ikki: You're overoptimistic. // Thinking you can defeat Kitazato and Sakamaki without any preparations, // and expecting you can force your way into Benten by winning a game of 9out.

Ikki: I like baseball freaks, but // I hate shitheads. // I don't like guys who join a high school baseball team, because they are being paid a lot of money.

Ikki: Tell me... Why do you play baseball!?

Ikki: You... Don't you like playing baseball!?

Ikki: Ignoring me!? // Answer me!!

Enjiro: It's complicated...

(9)Sakamaki: Damn... being the chief umpire, I saw the direction of his pitch, // but I'm still late with my swing...?

XXX: Weakness!?

Kitazato: Yes, he has a weakness. // One I created in advance.

Kitazato: That battery // can only throw the ball at a one-sided course.

(10)XXX: A one-sided course!?

Kitazato: Listen!? If you are the defender, it's fundamental to avoid any risks. // Because these guys are unprepared, they have two weaknesses!! // Because of the unmanned outfield, they are prone to RH...... and

[T/N: RH = Running Homerun]

Kitazato: having a ball being hit to the left side!!

XXX: Ah!

Kitazato: Assuming the ball rolls to the right side. Even if they sprint towards the runner if it's a weak grounder, they'll make it in time, right? // But if it goes to the left side, there's no chance they'll be in time. The moment we hit the ball, it's guaranteed we'll get on base.

Kitazato: So, if you want to make it hard to hit the ball to the left side, you have to throw it to the inside*.

*In the case of a right-handed batter

Kitazato: With your talent it's possible. // You have to aim for the in-course!!

Kitazato: If you can hit it to the left side // by using all your power...

(11)Kitazato: It'll be game-set!!

Kitazato: Tsk. // Another foul...?

Hayata: Enjiro!! // Damn, even though the pitch was a little to the outside of the plate...

Hayata: They noticed the lack of variation in his pitches!! // Catch it!Enjiro: (Tsk.)

Enjiro: Leave it to me, Hayata!!

(12)Enjiro: Damn...

Ikki: Hey, hey, a right-handed pitcher shouldn't charge with his right shoulder. // Isn't the shoulder like the life of a pitcher!?
